Cause
This issue occurs because of a sync issue that occurred prior to upgrade in NSX-T version 2.3.0/2.3.1.Following upgrade, even though the sync is now successful, the repo sync status is stuck in a failed state.
Resolution
This issue has been resolved in NSX-T Data Center 2.4.0 and cannot occur in future upgrades from that release.
Workaround
To workaround the issue perform a manual repo sync using the APIPOST https://NSX_Manager/api/v1/cluster/node?action=repo_sync
Example: curl -v -k -H "Content-Type:application/json" -u admin -X POST 'https://<NSX-Manager-IP>/api/v1/cluster/node?action=repo_sync'
